2026 Super Duty Order Guide

I guess my truck should be at granger by 09/02. do we drive it cross country or ship it lol?

enclosed shipping is around 2k, not terrible. Probably a wash with taking a day off work and a flight and fuel getting it back to the west coast
If you're not doing it for the drive, I'd ship it, especially for $2k. Highway isn't what I would consider the ideal place to break in an engine.

You've got to drive it, how else are you going to get a famous Iowa pork tenderloin?

For those looking to buy a 26, not sure if this information is out there or accurate. But figured it was worth sharing.

It's an error in the system. I confirmed it with my dealer yesterday when placing my order. Their Ford order system has the correct pricing. Wish it was $10k cheaper. Lol
 
Figured a 6k savings was too good to be true lol 😆
For sure. Funny that Ford is always weeks late releasing the Build and Price and it almost always has errors.

Posted my invoice on one of these threads last night showing the correct pricing.
 
Highway isn't what I would consider the ideal place to break in an engine.
That was my 1st thought. I had. I would have added extra time out there rack up 500-700 miles (at least) before pegging it at 80 mph for hours. I considered getting in on the deal, but factoring the cost of flight, lodging, road meals didn't make financial sense.

Ours that we buy for our service company tow heavy from day 1. All 6.7s. 10-20k per trailer. We have 2 2023s approaching 100k that have not been in the shop except for maintenance and several 2022s still running in the fleet that are well over 100k with no significant issues. Hard miles on terrible lease roads.
These are tough trucks right from the factory. Ford has been the best ones we have tried by a mile.

Towing also happens to be great for break-in. Lots of engine braking and load on the rings. A “properly” broken-in engine will almost always have better compression and burn less oil. Difference may be negligible but it is measurable in my experience. Lots of constant RPM and light engine load on the highway is the opposite of what you want for those critical first few hundred miles.

Two cents from someone that has been rebuilding engines and obsessed with all things internal combustion for 25+ years.

Funny when I was building my 6.4L and was gathering advice on break ins, one person asked me "got a trailer to hook up to it?". There's definitely merit to working them hard on break in and not driving consistent speeds. Also did some ridiculous oil intervals at first. I think i did 4 hours and then 500 miles. With the amount of dough I had into the engine i was willing to toss a couple hundred in oil at it.
 
@Prod1911 - Thanks for posting the order guide!

Well, since there are no major changes, that makes a solid deal on a 2024/2025 look even better. I'm looking forward to seeing the new blue, a little disappointed Ford didn't offer Shelter Green but looks like Marsh Gray is close. This is it on a F150:

Love the Shelter Green. Seen a couple Bronco Raptors in it.

That's not the same as hopping on the highway and setting the cruise for 80. Unless, of course, yall are doing that with a trailer. Lol.

Debunked. Was posted in another thread earlier. I ordered a 26 yesterday and Ford’s internal pricing for the ordering system was correct unfortunately and regular price. Lol

Gotcha.
 
I went to build my 2023 Lariatta, 1:1 using 2026 guide and this is what i end up with, it definitely went up in price for nearly the same options less some stuff no longer offered.

Man, this 2026 model year truck is great for those of us with a 2023 and even 2024 m/y tremors looking to keep the truck. There are basically no changes from a 2023 all the way to a 2026, it’s the same truck, inside and out. With a low miles truck, what is the point of upgrading it with a price up and no additional value added anywhere. And with 2026 MSRP going up, it kinda raises the resale value for 23s longer term too.
 
Prices did go up on everything. Marker lights were 95$ now they're 120$ etc

I noticed the same, every single option from cab lights to upfitter switches to cab heater went up at least 20%. If my lariat is 102K what is a fully loaded platty, 115k? At some point it stop making sense value wise.
